Gavin Bazunu has joined Stoke City on loan for the remainder of the season in a deal that includes an option to buy, which is reported to be worth £8 million. Bazunu explained his loan move to Stoke City was motivated by a desire for a new beginning away from Southampton. Bazunu spoke to Darren Behcet, the Stoke keeper coach, and the manager, and all the conversations were very positive about helping him improve as a player.

It is understood by The Daily Echo that Stoke City will pay all of Gavin Bazunu's wages for the duration of the loan deal, and Southampton will also receive a loan fee. Reportedly, Stoke City can purchase Gavin Bazunu for £8 million this summer if they decide to activate the clause.

Stoke City have confirmed that they have signed Gavin Bazunu on loan until the end of the season. It is believed that the deal includes an option to make the loan permanent.

It is reported that Stoke City are nearing an agreement for Southampton's Gavin Bazunu, who became their primary target after an injury to Viktor Johansson. It is said that the 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international has travelled to Clayton Wood for discussions about a loan deal until the end of the season. The agreement contains a purchase option of £8m. Bazunu's availability for a move followed Southampton's signing of Daniel Peretz on loan from Bayern Munich.
